Game Preview
On Sunday, October 30th at 11:30 am CT, Athletic Club and Villareal will face off in LaLiga’s 12th match at San Mamés Stadium. With the World Cup just around the corner, this will be a crucial match as both teams compete to remain at the top of the table.
Los Leones have had a strong season thus far, but it could be even better as they have been off their game lately. They currently sit in 6th place. They have one win, two draws, and one defeat in previous meetings. Most notably, they were defeated 4-0 by Barcelona, and they will undoubtedly be looking to change their fortunes and secure the three points this time.
Athletic Club has always performed best at home, and as the favorites, we don’t expect anything less. However, over the last eight games, the Rojiblancos’ defense has been a source of concern, allowing goals in seven of them, something they cannot afford to do against Villareal. Raul Garcia and Iñaki Williams will be key players on whom coach Ernesto Valverde can rely. Unfortunately, both Dani Garcia and Ander Herrera will be out of this Sunday’s match due to injuries.
On the other hand, the Yellow Submarine arrives after beating Almeria 2-1. They are moving closer behind the Lions in seventh place and are attempting to enter classification territory. Villareal’s leading scorer Álex Baena was expelled in the previous match and will not be joining his squad this week. All eyes will be now on Gerard Moreno and Argentine Giovanni Lo Celso, who will undoubtedly take advantage of Athletic Club’s shaky defense.
Pulling off a victory at San Mames Stadium as a visitor is certainly not an easy feat. Despite the odds favoring Athletic Club, Villareal has shown to be a threat and will not back down this season.
